Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why North Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
North Hills is a community of 74,038 residents experiencing steady, modest expansion at about 0.40% annually. That kind of measured growth keeps demand for home improvements and small-scale construction consistent rather than boom-and-bust: more homeowners are updating yards, adding walkways, improving drainage, and investing in outdoor living over time. North Hills' climate — roughly 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of rain annually, in USDA hardiness zone 9a — creates mixed needs: materials must resist strong sun exposure while handling periodic heavy rainfall. Homeowners benefit from a range of bulk supplies — soil mixes and topsoil for planting, aggregates and base materials for drainage and paving, mulches to conserve moisture, and sand or bedding products for fine grading. Regional sourcing matters because local geology influences texture, color, and performance; choosing the right bulk materials reduces rework and improves long-term project results. Local soil and weather patterns introduce specific performance challenges: heavy rain events increase the risk of erosion and washouts, while extended sunny periods raise evaporation and UV stress on exposed surfaces. Some materials compact when wet, others lose volume with settling, and organic mulches break down faster under intense sun; all of these behaviors affect drainage, plant establishment, and the durability of hardscapes. For homeowners that means planning for settling and drainage, selecting mixes suited to both wet and dry cycles, and timing deliveries around weather windows. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers familiar with North Hills conditions, offering material calculators and expert guidance, and coordinating deliveries so you get the right quantities and blends for your project.Popular Projects in North Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - North Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in North Hills.
Homeowners in North Hills pick materials based on use, look, and drainage needs rather than one "best" product. Common choices include gravel, sand, dirt, stone for base work, top dressing, and pathways; each performs differently for compaction, drainage, and appearance. Think about how the area will be used (parking, foot traffic, planting) and ask our team to help match performance needs with local material options.
In a hot, dry climate choose materials that resist breakdown, reduce dust, and retain their shape under sun and heat; many local mixes are selected for those traits. Lighter-colored materials can reflect heat and reduce surface temperature, while angular, well-graded aggregates compact better and resist shifting. Ask suppliers about regional blends and dust-control options to suit long-term performance.
Plan around the local weather: hot, dry spells can make dusty deliveries harder to control and late fall to winter brings occasional heavy rains that affect grading and compaction. Avoid scheduling major grading or spreading on days with predicted storms or extreme heat, and allow a few extra days for delivery during peak seasons. Use our checkout calendar to pick a date and contact us if you need to change timing.
Many suppliers deliver to residential areas and HOAs, but access, street width, parking restrictions, and HOA rules can affect whether and where a truck can offload. Tell us about driveways, gates, overhead wires, and any HOA requirements when you order so we can confirm feasibility. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on a target depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (area in ft^2 * depth in inches) / 324. Different materials have different weights per cubic yard, so convert cubic yards to tons using the material-specific density or our online calculator. If you need help, use our material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for an estimate; minimum orders typically start at about 3 tons.
Yes, many local suppliers offer blended and specialty options tailored to landscaping, drainage, or decorative needs, and regional mixes reflect local geology. You can request blends or color preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and ask our team about common mixes for North Hills projects. Availability and exact composition vary by supplier and location.
Prices vary based on material type, local supply, hauling distance, and seasonal demand, so exact comparisons depend on those factors. The fastest way to compare is to request quotes through our site for your zip code; our platform shows transparent pricing and delivery fees where available. Keep in mind that regional sourcing means some materials may cost more or less than in neighboring cities.
For slopes, choose heavier, larger, or angular materials that resist movement and promote drainage, and combine them with vegetation or erosion-control fabrics when appropriate. Often a mix of structural material at the base plus lighter top dressing and plants higher up gives the best results. For significant slope work, consult a landscape or civil contractor to match material choice and installation technique to site conditions.
Small projects like garden beds or simple pathways are often doable as DIY with delivered materials and basic tools, while larger jobs, grading, or work on slopes usually require experienced contractors and equipment. Consider your timeline, access for delivery trucks, and whether you need compaction or grading equipment when deciding. Hello Gravel handles ordering and delivery logistics, and our team can help you decide what suits your project.
Standard delivery generally requires 2 or more business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle trucks), and drivers will assess access and safety on arrival. Provide clear delivery instructions, note any site restrictions in your order, and contact customer service if you need to change delivery details.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
